Hi all,
Thanks to Marcel, finally the MS mouse is working effortlessly with the
bthid program and I am a happy man.
I had messed up two things,
- had not loaded the mousedev.o module and
- made a typo in the XF86Config-4 file.
my two cents
please find attached a howto document that details the steps involved in
making the MS IntelliExplorer mouse working with Marcel's bthid utility.
PS: maybe some one can just verify the howto document for any possible
errors.
thanks everyone for your patience.

Hi,
looks OK to me. If you want, when you have a stable version, I can host
it beside mine on my web server.
